skinner2k3 3 Posted June 15, 2007 I have fitted a 1.6 BE3 non lift reverse gearbox to my 1900 XU engine and for some reason I cant get the fly wheel cover plate to fit back on. Its like it needs to be fitted between the box and block??? That isnt right is it? Also how tight should the bolts be which hold the box on. I didnt torque them, just applied a reasonable amount of torque to a 6" ish ratchet. Should I undo and retorque them or leave it? Cheers Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Ben I believe the cover plate for the 1.6 and 1.9 are different, try swapping them around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted June 15, 2007 Yes the 2 are different due to the 1.9 being a taller engine. Do the bolts up to where it feels right if you don't have a torque wrench. Tight but not over-tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
